In the late 1960s, American artist Paul Selinger created Shek Lei Playground in Kwai Chung, Hong Kong's first sculptural playground. Over the next twenty years, playscapes influenced by modern architecture, art, and educational theory continued to emerge in the city.
Starting in 2017, artist and writer Fan Lok Yi conducted field research, searched for literature, and collected memories from designers and the public, in an effort to reconstruct the stories of several playgrounds from the 1960s to the 1980s, and to analyze the relationship between play spaces and international trends and Hong Kong's social development.
